Promotion of dual-reaction pathway in CO2 reduction over Pt0/SrTiO3‒δ: Experimental and theoretical verification

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(22)64175-5

Abstract

Abstract:

The H₂ evolution is generally considered a competing reaction in photocatalytic CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) using H₂O as the proton source. However, the reducing gas H₂generated from H₂O splitting can be the proton source in CO₂RR under the enhanced dynamic role of the thermal effect. The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, a CO₂ hydrogenation reaction, should occur in photothermal environment owing to thermodynamically and kinetically favorable. Herein, nanostructured metal-semiconductor contact consisting of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) supported on SrTiO_3‒_δ nanosheets with rich oxygen vacancies (Pt-OVs-STO) was constructed for investigating its feasibility and efficiency in the RWGS reaction under photothermal effect. Our experimental results substantiate that the H₂ generated by H₂O splitting effectively contributes to the RWGS reaction over Pt-OVs-STO system. The Pt⁰ NPs not only efficiently facilitate surface charge transfer, but also lower the energy barrier of the O‒H bond breaking, H₂ releasing, and RWGS reaction, thereby showing an outstanding CO₂RR performance. The strong interaction between the Pt⁰ NPs and SrTiO_3‒_δ has been extensively demonstrated by a series of experimental characterizations and density functional theory calculations. This work elucidates the relation between H₂ evolution and RWGS reaction over Pt⁰/SrTiO_3‒_δ structure in photothermal catalytic CO₂RR using H₂O as the proton source and provides new perspectives for subsequent CO₂RR.
